Bro, did you ask the official Michelin distributor? Even my ride with special size rubber also can special order with the correct distributor. Is all about getting the right source.

https://www.michelin.com.my/

Got to official website and find/locate dealers.

If michelin no more producing your tire size, go for other brands. Michelin is not always the top performer nowadays in every category, even Goodyear Eagle F1 A6 also beat them not sure why a lot of people mindset still think michelin must be no.1.. brand wash for too long.. laugh.gif

Not feasible. Your tire will become too big to fit your wheel arc, any road undulations will sagat your fender.

If want to increase comfort, you need to downsize your wheel fitment to 185/60R13 (not sure if this will be easily available or economical)

Aigo... you wrote earlier 165/80R14.

If 165/60R14, the size is a bit bigger than tolerance (3.3%, shouldn't be more than 3% difference).

Odometer lari

However, other than that, it shouldn't rub the fender

Hey guys, if tyre pressure I want it to be 220 kpa. Do I just set 220 at the air pressure terminal and be done with it? Or do I need to set higher kpa since tyre has heated up as I drove to petrol station? 175/65 R14 Axia tyres and wanting to pump to 220 kpa.

First of all, what car model your driving. If just FWD or RWD just put the newer tires in the rear.
Unless your driving AWD then need to change all 4.

I assume his ride is SUV? Since got Goodyear Assurance Maxguard SUV model in consideration.

Prime 4 is still consider as normal passenger car tire, if his ride is SUV need to consider the functionary.

UC6 got SUV range, if he is driving SUV would recommend to get SUV rated tires.

Do you know how to see the year made from the tires & also tire condition?
FYI, if tires did not have serious crack on the sidewall, tires can last way more 5~10 years without issue.

Yes, Nexen got sell in Malaysia. Facebook got official Nexen group Malaysia which can advice which tire shop to get their stock from.

Official Nexen website also got KL branch contact to ask for

Yes, my ride is SUV X70. The original came with UC6. Thought of trying a new brand . Either similar spec with UC6 or better. So I'm looking either Goodyear Maxguard, Prime 4 can consider if the review is good for SUV type or others. Thank you

Hi.

I'd like to ask other's experience/opinion regarding tyres for my proton preve.
Many yrs ago, I had Michelin ps3. But then didn't know much abt tyres and changed to Marshal tyres. Now I'm near the wear thread and looking to change to either Michelin ps 4 or Goodyear asymmetric tyres.

Anyone has any advice as to what should be my considerations deciding between the 2? And also, any recommendations for tyre shops near sg petani/penang area?

Many thanks!

based on my experienced, nexen RU1 is better than goodyear efficientgrip in most aspect like noise, dry and wet handling.

Yes, but premium brand usually their braking performance is better.
I personally used RU1 few years back before MCO when the price is still cheap & damn worth/value.
